In honor of the movie, the town holds an October month-long ‘Spirit of Halloweentown’ celebration . Ecstatic, I immediately made plans to St. Helens to re-live one [...]

THIS SCHOOL-HOUSE ROCKS!
While visiting Halloweentown in St. Helens, we found this 100 year old schoolhouse to be right up our alley for accommodations! Thanks Airbnb! Our wonderful hosts, Jason and Diane have turned a historic 2-room schoolhouse into a charming and unique B&B. The entire house has high ceilings, good natural ventilation, and excellent natural lighting. The [...]
PIFA
Our main reason for this trip was to attend the 21st Annual Pacific Islanders Festival!!! The event was held at Ski beach and finding parking was such a pain that we ended up driving back to the hotel and grabbing an Uber there (highly recommended)! This was a highly anticipated event for me since I've [...]
SUNNY SAN DEEZY
I just got back from a mini weekend getaway to sunny San Diego! Since this was going to be a quick trip, I tried to pack in as much sightseeing, eating/drinking, and more importantly meeting up with friends and families as I can!!! We flew early Friday morning via Alaska Airlines and I’m still amazed [...]
GLASS FLOATS AND A SATURDAY MARKET
The Finders Keepers event in Lincoln City has been on my bucket list for some time. Hand-crafted glass floats are placed along the 7 ½ miles of public beach in Lincoln City – you find it, you keep it! This past weekend was the last day of the “fairy” drop which is the main reason [...]
PDX
It’s been awhile since I made a trip down to Portland, Oregon! Since the weather was going to be somewhere in the 80s, we decided to make a weekend getaway! When in Portland, it’s a MUST to make a stop at the famous “Voodoo Doughnut”! I got the VooDoo because it was a MUSTDOO…hehe!!! Also [...]
THE MOSIAC STAIRS
I’ve had these steps on my San Francisco to-see list for so long!!! I was glad that we were able to get away from our busy party planning schedule to visit the famous mosaic stairs. The 16th Avenue Tiled Steps project has been a neighborhood effort to create a beautiful mosaic running up the risers [...]

RELAXATION
Jjimjilbang (Korean bath house) is part of the Korean lifestyle. As travelers, the 7 days my brother and I spent in Seoul had been fun and exciting yet tiring due to the times we spent walking and sight-seeing. It was nice that I was able to cap it off with a relaxing day at the [...]
HEEEERE….FISHY, FISHY
While searching for activities to do in Korea, I came across ice fishing and was immediately hooked on doing this! I was super excited when we were able to sign up last minute with Koridor Tours to ice fish for trout. Our tour guide Ken drove two hours to The 6th Jarasum Singsing Winter Festival, which [...]
